Sterling Shores 801, Destin, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

George has been the best host (don’t think you will find one better) condo was absolutely beautiful with plenty of room only wish I had the option to give more than a 5 star review. Can’t wait till bevy vacation will definitely be reaching out to reserve same place

This condo was exactly as described. Very spacious. We had 6 adults and we were very comfortable. Condo was clean and nicely decorated. Also the location was perfect. Lots of restaurants and shopping around. George was great to work with. He is very responsive and answers all questions. We will absolutely rent from George again

This condo is extremely spacious and the views are even better in person. George was extremely responsive and made the entire process seamless. The location is perfect close to food, shopping and the shortest walk to the beach. We had a group of 7 and we all said we would book again.

This was our second year in a row renting this condo from George. We love the layout, and all the space it provides for our family! It’s spotless upon arrival every time! The resort is beautifully landscaped, and we love spending time at both pools! We already can’t wait to come back next year and no question we will rent from George again!

The condo was as described. Very comfortable and clean. Great location. Our family enjoyed our stay and we will book again.

This was our first trip to Destin and we were not disappointed! This condo was super accommodating and had plenty of space for all 10 of us. The beach is beautiful, the condo views are spectacular, and the location was close to everything we needed. George was easy to work with throughout the entire process! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

10/10! The place was beautiful, in the perfect location and designed with large families in mind. The only thing I will say is that with a group of 8 there was never enough hot water, but that won’t stop us from returning!

George Custer's reply:

Sorry about that Kelli. I have not heard this before. I will look into turning up the temp on the water heaters to help this. Thanks for advising and glad you had a wonderful time. Hope you return.

Our stay at George's Sterling Shores condo hasd everything we needed for a great vacation! The location provides great access to so many wonderful activities for dining and entertainment. When not at the spacious private beach or enjoying one of the two beautiful pool settings, we enjoyed nearby attractions for both adults and children. The convenience of food, beach/pool and entertainment was important to us in getting the absolute most out of our vacation. We had 6 adults and 4 children ages 9 to 1. Never did we feel cramped in the space. The kitchen was modern and the entire condo was designed and decorated to coax you into a relaxing beach mindset. The balcony has a spectacular view of the gulf, that is almost hypnotic at the end of the day before bed. George is a fantastic communicator which really put us at ease during the entire process. He was very helpful and responsive, Thanks George! We will be back.

We had an exceptional time in Destin at Sterling Shores. This end-unit condo is a must if you are looking for comfort and plenty of space. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the large patio overlooking the beach and ocean. It's incredibly convenient, with access to two pools (one with a bar), a private beach, and the Back Porch bar and restaurant. In my opinion, the location is the best in Destin. I want to thank George for being so easy to work with. I strongly recommend contacting George if you plan on going to Destin.

We had a wonderful week at this condo! Very spacious, great amenities, fabulous deck with an even more fabulous view! George was quick to respond to any questions I had while condo searching, as well as after booking, and sent me a huge list of recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The Back Porch restaurant is a hop, skip, and a jump across the lot and is top notch food and drinks. There’s a nice little snack and drink bar on your way to the beach access and I even noticed the gals working in it at both pools for poolside service AND down on the beach bringing food to folks. Private beach area is just the right size and keeps you out of the crowded public beach. Airplanes fly over all day long and are cool to watch, if you like that kind of thing (they aren’t noisy, either??) 10/10 recommend this condo and hope we get to go back in the future!

This is our 2nd time to stay in this spacious condo. It is perfect for our family. Love the 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Condo is clean, updated and very nice. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and the den and a great sized balcony. Very nice location. I would definitely go back and recommend to others.

2nd year staying at Sterling Shores- had a wonderful time love the location and the spacious condo…. We had 7!girls there and had plenty of room inside and on the balcony. The beach and restaurants were also amazing . Would go back for sure??????

This was my family’s 2nd stay at George’s place. Seamless check in and out, always available for questions and recommendations. The balcony has great views of the ocean. Lots of attractions and great restaurants within minutes. We will be looking forward to rebooking next spring.

This condo is a great place to stay. The condo is clean and a well kept place. Everything that one needs for a good vacation is supplied. This condo has amazing views. The pools are nice and spacious. The beach is within walking distance. The restaurants and grocery stores are easy driving distances. Sterling Shores has great amentities pools, beach, and work out room. The parking is good and the property is both secure and easy to access.Thanks G.

The views, the location, the private beach, and easy access to it all! This unit was bigger than my home, to say the least, and had enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves! I scoped the entire place and somehow missed a room of bunk beds (which is perfect for locking at least six kids in, LOL). If you want to wake up to crystal blue waters, rays of sunshine gracing your cheek, and the sound of waves waking you up to the day, this is your place! It was so clean and updated! My favorite part is the MASSIVE walk-in shower that is perfect for washing the kids off after a long day at the beach! 10/10 recommend, and I can't wait to make more family memories!

My Family - 6 adults and 5 kids - had a great stay! Condo was roomy, had everything we needed, and beautiful views! We even saw dolphins from the spacious balcony. Owner was very responsive and made sure everything was perfect. Great place!

Spectacular condo with great space for all the family. Very clean and well maintained and decorated. We all had a wonderful time at the beach and views are great from the balcony.

Very spacious condo with everything you need. George is great to desl with and always avaiabke to answer your questions. Balcony super big and great to sit and read, especially nice in Jan and Feb out of the wind Recommend to both small and big families.

This condo was absolutely amazing. Very spacious, gorgeous sun rises and sunsets, balcony was perfect. Very clean and beautiful decor. Very up to date. Beds were comfy. Provided 2 box fans which was amazing. Sand toys and beach chairs was definitely a plus for the kids. Anything you could need was readily available. Great location. I definitely can’t wait to bring my family back.

Second stay here and not disappointed. Clean, large condo and great views. Sterling Shores is our favorite place to stay in Destin. This is our favorite condo. The owner George is great and easy to communicate with by text. Can’t say enough good things about this stay.

Very clean condo which was very important to us! George answered any questions we had right away and gave us some great suggestions on places to go eat close to the condo! MANY places within 3 miles and the highly recommended restaurant “The Back Porch” is literally steps from the condo! Great views! Very happy with our choice!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The condo was clean, very comfortable, and had plenty of room for our party to move around. We LOVED the balcony and the space to spread out to eat meals outside. The view is amazing! The kids had a blast in the bunk rooms. The separate suite was a great reprieve for our mother in law to get a nap in without being bothered by the loud kids. The master shower may have been my favorite part! The kitchen has all the utensils and pots you need to cook, which was so nice not have to buy anything extra. The only tiny thing we wished for was a keruig machine since I was the only one that drinks it, but there is a coffee maker that works well. The pool is steps away from the elevator. And, the walk to the beach and second pool was very nice and easy with 3 little kids. The location was perfect! The Back Porch was a simple walk. Walmart is a half a mile away so very easy to pick up food quickly. George is very open with communication and texted me back quickly with answers to my questions!

Awesome trip. So much to do in the area. Great views from the balcony. George was a great host and very responsive. The zero entry pool was fantastic foe people of all ages. We would like to return in 2024 for more great memories.

We come to Destin every year, and this place was the most immaculate and accommodating of any place we’ve stayed! George was awesome to work with and truly cares about your experience and is always available. The unit is spacious, and the balcony is oversized and my whole family of 11 enjoyed spending time out there. We can’t wait to come back and plan to book this exact room next year! Highly recommend!!

This condo is fabulous! My husband and I took our adult children and a few of their friends (9 adults) and had an awesome time! The condo is a huge 3 bedroom/3 bath well decorated and taken care of for sure! There was more than enough room for all of us. The views from the extra-large balcony are stunning. The pools and beach are steps from the condo. Walmart almost right across the street. Plenty of shopping and dining in walking distance or a short drive. Can't say enough great things about this place definitely have to see for yourself! George was a great host and always available to communicate if we had any questions! We definitely recommend this condo for your family vacation destination!!

If you're looking for a large newly renovated 3 bedroom condo with plenty of space for the whole family, you have to check this place out! Great views overlooking the emerald coast. This condo is in an ideal location with plenty to do within walking distance, along with grocery and restaurants nearby. The amenities of the Sterling Shores condo complex have always been a family favorite with 2 swimming pools, outdoor grilling stations, and a well stocked tiki bar down by the beach. This condo has a huge balcony with expansive views for the whole family to enjoy. George was a great host and always available to communicate if we had any questions! We definitely recommend this condo for your family vacation destination!!

We had an AMAZING stay at Sterling Shores! My and family and I vacation in Florida every summer and this year we decided we would tryout Destin for the first time. I can promise we will be back! George was most definitely the best owner we have ever dealt with. He never hesitated to answer any or all of my questions while being a first timer. Believe me there were a ton! The pictures of this property does no justice! Here you have all high end finishes, appliances and such a thoughtful design --- very luxurious. Every consideration was made to maximize their ocean front view!!! As I said before, George and his wife were extremely responsive, communicative and go well ABOVE and BEYOND to take care of their guests to ensure that we have a relaxing enjoyable vacation. I wish that I could give more than 5 stars because my experience at Sterling Shores with The Custer’s far EXCEEDS even my own very high expectations. I strongly recommend this host and this property --- the location and views are second to none!!! Believe me when I say, this condo is a little slice of heaven!!!

This Sterling Shores Condo was great for our 2 week stay. It was definitely our “Happy Place” and we were so sad to leave. Among the accommodations, we enjoyed the large deck with ample seating and miraculous view of the gulf including beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The condo itself provided for our family of 6 adults and 3 children with lots of space and privacy. The access to pool and beach were easy. We especially liked the ability to grill by the pool. Convenient location to everything was perfect! The owner, George, was super accessible and accommodating checking in with us to see if we needed anything and that we were comfortable with everything. We have been to Destin for 14 yrs and this was one of our best experiences. BIG thanks to George for sharing his beautiful condo!

Sterling Shores is our favorite place to stay. We’ve rented other condos there for over 15 years. As our family grows so did or size needs. We stayed in a similar sized condo last fall, it was nice too, but it hadn’t been newly remodeled like this one. Also, this condo is on the east end so the side, floor to ceiling windows, have a great view. There is a large deck looking toward the ocean. Rear bedroom is like an apartment all to itself. The owner, George, provided his phone number and was easy to communicate with. Nicest, best experience yet.

The condo was a perfect fit for our vacation with even better views of the water. We were able to see dolphins swimming two of the mornings while we drank our coffee on the huge balcony. The condo is also on the end so it’s very quiet. The condo was renovated very nicely with updated features. The two pools, tiki bar and private beach access made it nice to switch it up each day with our three kids. Will definitely be looking to book again in the future and highly recommend.

The condo itself is sooo spacious, updated and soo comfortable. It is beautifully updated and has gorgeous views of the beach. The pool areas are very convenient and right there on the beach. The rooms were very cozy and quiet which I was thrilled about because both my new baby and toddler slept great! By far the best owner we have rented from. Kind, accommodating and easy to talk to. Will most likely book again because none of us wanted to leave!

Beautiful condo with huge balcony overlooking the Gulf. Condo is spacious with garbage chute close by and ice machine on ground floor. 2 pools and steps from the beach. Everything was perfect. Close to everything. Would definitely return. Owner was easy to work with.

Amazing condo with beautiful ocean view and large balcony! Everything was great I would return for sure. Location was great steps from the beach - pools were beautiful too!

This condo is beautiful! Updated, clean and has amazing views with a huge balcony! Very central and so many things to do nearby! The owner was great and made it very easy to communicate with him before, during, and after our stay!

The unit looked brand new with an amazingly large balcony where you can hear & see the waves hit the sand. Every bed was incredibly comfortable. The unit it was super clean, comfy & had all the necessary supplies for a wonderful vacation! George was a great host & answered all texts immediately. Sterling Shores is a very well maintained property with gorgeous grounds. The convenient heated pool on the beach & The Back Porch right next door made this the perfect Destin resort. We will be back for years to come!

The condo is amazing! The owner also worked with us and our needs well. He is very good at communicating before, during, and even after the stay! The condo is very clean and up to date with an amazing view. Highly Recommend and will be returning!

I had the pleasure of staying at the beach condo and was blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean from the balcony. The condo was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was comfortable and the linens were soft and luxurious. What really made my stay exceptional was the incredible host. George went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and communicated very well with the happenings around the condo area. The location of the condo couldn't have been better. It was just steps away from the beach, and there were plenty of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. The condo fit our family of 7 perfectly with plenty of extra room. Overall, I cannot recommend this beach condo and host highly enough. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and exceptional hospitality, this is the place for you!

This was a very clean and well laid out condo. From the moment we booked we had clear and precise communication. We got there with no problems and the place was spectacular. Well laid out, beautiful decor and spectacular views of the ocean and beach. It is close to everything that we needed for the family as well, stores restaurants in walking distance and lots of fun activities all around. George was a great host and made our time there very special. Thanks again and we will be booking this again soon.

The condo is so large and we all just felt like we had so much room to move around.   Never felt crowded.  I know this is going to be renovated and cannot wait to come back.
George is so easy and great to work with. Very responsive.

We just loved staying here and cannot wait to come back when it is totally renovated.

We walked into the condo and were struck by how beautiful the views were.  Will definitely return for another visit
